General information

GX-19 is a candidate vaccine being developed by Genexine. lt is a DNA-based vaccine encoding synthetic soluble SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein. GX-19 displayed immunogenicity in mice and non-human primates. A reduction of viral loads was observed in vaccinated non-human primates after a viral challenge compared to control (Seo et al., 2021). Currently, this COVID-19 candidate vaccine is in Phase I/II of clinical evaluation.

The vaccine displayed immunogenicity in mice (Spike-specific antibody response and Th1-biased T cell response) and non-human primates (neutralizing antibody response and CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses). A relative reduction of viral loads and improvement in infection symptoms were observed compared to control in vaccinated non-human primates after a viral challenge.
